Chapter 34 Soldier Ants Who Don't Eat Frogs
Long Bai had not eaten for six or seven days and was so hungry that he hunted a half-sized wild boar cub and brought it back to the cave.
Mo Lan: "Long Bai, when did you come here?"
Long Bai: "Of course it was at the agreed time."
"Oh——"< br>
Mo Lan: "Is it raining over there? I encountered three heavy rains here in Molan Mountain, and there was almost a flood."
Long Bai: "Yes. There is a lot of rain this year, and the fragrance is fragrant. There were two heavy rains in Lanshan, and another light rain the day before I came here."
Mo Lan: "Oh! It's a rare good year."
"Yes. "
Long Bai asked: "Mo Lan, why did you sleep and evolve before I came over?"
Mo Lan: "I felt that I was going to evolve several days in advance, so I made some preparations. I braced myself and waited for two days. I thought you were coming, but I couldn't hold on anymore, so I fell asleep."
< br>"What if I am delayed and fail to arrive in time?" Long Bai observed the cave.
The silk bag is empty.
Mo Lan has eaten up all the force food.
The force food worth 2,000 raw stones saved Mo Lan about half a year.
Quite a deal.
The spider silk bag is empty. This search will definitely be fruitless.
If there was any harvest, Mo Lan would have already said so.
No need to ask more.
Put your head down and concentrate on eating.
Mo Lan talked a lot and asked: "Long Bai, how is the digging of the pond going?"
Long Bai said depressedly: "It's not going very well. The second big pond was flooded twice. , and it ran aground. I was digging the third pond planned in the south, and it was flooded once. I had no choice but to dig a drainage channel for it, which I had just finished digging. That's so unlucky..."
Mo Lan suddenly became anxious and urged: "Long Bai, eat quickly and leave."
"Okay!"
Long Bai didn't worry about the territory either. After eating, he took control of the throne and headed back.
......
"Molan, are the torreya seeds delicious?"
On the way, Long Bai asked.
Mo Lan: “It’s delicious~”
Mo Lan: "I only remember how delicious it was. I forgot what it tasted like."
Long Bai: "I still have 10 pills there. I'll give you 5 pills when I get back."
First. Give me some benefits,
Long Bai then expressed his thoughts and said: "I only sowed 8 of the 10 green torreya seeds that Luo Chen gave me last year and left 2. I was promoted to 9 When the age is up, there is only one left after using one."
Mo Lan: "No need, right? The green torreya tree is growing too slowly. Bluegrass is good..."
Long Bai: "We don't lack the output of a common orchid plant now."
Long Bai: "Same as the big-fruited hemlock, we sow together. The two trees are next to each other, and I usually do it easily. I will instruct the worker ants to take care of it for you.”
Mo Lan tilted her head and thought for a moment, then happily agreed: “Okay!”
…
…
…
The ruling throne is close to Xianglan Mountain and falls directly towards the small pond.
"Zhan Lan...huh?"
Long Bai greeted, and then he concentrated.
On the first broad leaf of the azure god-given seed, squatting were four little frogs that had just shed their tails.
"Wow!"
Mo Lan noticed the presence of frogs at the same time, exclaimed, and shouted:
"Longbai, frogs! Quick! Kill them!"
"Mo Lan, don't worry!"
"Be careful to damage the blue leaves."
Long Bai controlled the throne and slowly approached.
A piece of confusing and questioning spiritual thought came from Zhanlan.
"Long Bai, what's wrong?"
Long Bai: "It's okay, Zhan Lan...A few frogs climbed on you, I drove them away."
Long Bai and Mo Lan were afraid of hurting the blue leaves and did not dare to act rashly.
As the ruling throne approached, the four little frogs became alert, jumped into the pond, and swam towards the shore.
After sweeping through with his mental energy, there were still five or six hiding in the grass beside the pond.
What annoyed Long Bai was that the 12 soldier ants guarding the area turned a blind eye to the existence of the frog.
How come you guys haven’t starved to death after being away for so many days?
Long Bai waved his tentacles and gave hunting orders to the soldier ants.
Zhanlan felt Long Bai's killing intent and asked anxiously: "Long Bai, do you want to kill the frog?"
Long Bai: "Yes. They will trample your leaves."
Zhan Lan: "No way..."
Zhan Lan: "Does Mo Lan not like them?"
Long Bai waved his tentacles.
The soldier ants who were about to take action stopped.
Long Bai lowered his head and pondered, then raised his head and said solemnly as never before: "Mo Lan! I understand."
Mo Lan was stunned for a moment and asked strangely: "Understand what?"< br>
Long Bai: "I understand why the creator's civilization perished."
Mo Lan: "Huh?"
Mo Lan was stunned again, and followed Long Bai's words and asked: "Why?" Long Bai: "The creator civilization should be a pure water-based race. Their nature is as soft as water. When other civilizations are ready When you destroy it, it is destroyed."
Mo Lan thought for a moment and asked, "What does that have to do with these nasty frogs?"
Long Bai said: "Zhanlan is different from the God-given seeds of our natural gods. Its nature is gentle and kind. Zhanlan asks me not to kill these little frogs."
Mo Lan: "..."
What do you want to say after a long time? Mo Lan said angrily: "Little frogs will grow into big frogs, and big frogs will trample the leaves when they are jumping!"
Long Bai: "Let's talk about it when they grow up. Zhanlan watched them grow from tadpoles. It’s really not good for me to kill you in front of a frog.”
Mo Lan turned her head angrily, thinking quickly, and came up with an idea:
“Long Bai, I have something. Solution! These frogs hide in the grass in the pond and eat bugs, right? You let the worker ants mow the grass. If there is no grass, there will be no bugs. If there are no bugs, the frogs will naturally leave, and then..."
What a cruel mantis~
"Okay..."
Long Bai reluctantly agreed vaguely, and quickly changed the subject, saying: "Mo Lan, you haven't returned to the territory for 23 days, go and see the fruit orchid."
…
…
…
Send Mo Lan away.
Long Bai stayed by the pond, the more he thought about it, the weirder he became.
There are grasslands and dense forests on both sides of the river ditch, and there is abundant food. The 12 specialized soldier ants guarding the small pond hunt for themselves and eat whatever they catch.
Why didn’t they kill the frogs that were so close?
Long Bai controlled the throne to rise, suspended at a high place, and did not disturb the specialized soldier ants, observing them silently.
Two days later, the discovery was made.
Every morning and evening, specialized soldier ants formed groups to look for food and searched everywhere. When they went to other places, they would not hunt frogs if they encountered them, and even spared toads. .
They used to eat very happily, but this situation must have only happened recently.
Why?
Long Bai thought of Zhan Lan.
"Zhanlan, can you command the specialized soldier ants?"
"No..."
"Then why do the soldier ants guarding nearby no longer hunt frogs?"
"I use my mental power to repeat it repeatedly to prevent them from hurting the frogs, and they will no longer hurt the frogs..."
"Psychic power?" Long Bai asked.
"Yes." Zhanlan replied affirmatively.
How is this possible?
Worker ants and soldier ants are both 'replicas' without souls and independent consciousness, and have no spiritual power.
How is it possible to communicate with the ant colony through mental power?
Long Bai turned his head and immediately used his mental power to give a "come here" command to a special chemical worker ant not far away.
The specialized soldier ants were keenly aware of the fluctuations in mental power and looked at Long Bai blankly, motionless.
Longbai repeats.
No response.
Repeat again.
The specialized soldier ants simply ignored Long Bai.
Sure enough, it doesn’t work.
There are only two ways for the ant king to command the ant colony:
The first is the short-range pheromone signal command, which has stronger control;
The second The other is that the tentacles release invisible signal fluctuations and issue instructions. This instruction is released over a long distance.
Worker ants and soldier ants have no independent consciousness, no mental power, cannot communicate with mental power, and naturally cannot use mental power to issue instructions.
"Zhanlan, is this your ability? Mental power to control other lives through psychedelics?"
"Ability?"
Zhanlan felt confused and confused about the fluctuations of his mental power.
Long Bai: "Zhanlan, can you control the frogs so that they don't jump into the pond?"
Zhanlan: "I don't know..."
Long Bai: "Try it!"
"Okay."
Zhan Lan agreed.
Start trying it.
I tried for a long time, but there was no response.
Several small frogs hunted small insects in the grass. After eating, they jumped into the pond, jumped on the blue leaves, and squatted on the leaves to rest contentedly.
Frogs are ordinary life forms and cannot detect mental power at all.
Long Bai suddenly had a guess:
——The ant colony was cultivated by the ‘messenger’ produced by the Dominion Throne.
——Zhan Lan was reborn through the throne of domination.
——Because of the relationship with the throne?
——It would be great if Zhanlan could control the ant colony and let it direct the digging of the pond!
Long Bai waved his tentacles and summoned all the worker ants resting on the hill in the distance and gathered next to the small pond.
"Zhan Lan, try using your mental power to command the worker ants and let them dig the pond over there."
"Okay."
Zhan Lan repeatedly released his mental power and released the message "Hurry and dig a pond".
After repeating this process several times, the worker ants gradually became restless and ran around in a daze.
"Zhan Lan, it's okay... let's forget it. You can't command them."
Long Bai gave up directly.
Zhanlan can indeed make the ant colony move through mental power, but the effect is too slow and requires constant repetition. It is completely unable to achieve precise command and cannot perform slightly complicated work.
In the future, Zhan Lan will grow into a towering tree and his spiritual power will grow stronger, maybe it will work.
